This Egg Roll in a Bowl is one of those recipes that you simply have to try and make it. It is super flavorful, easy to prepare, healthy, ready in 20 minutes, and made with only 6 ingredients.

Unlike many Chinese-inspired dishes, that are deep-fried, this one is actually quite healthy. The coleslaw mix works really well here in combination with the ground sausage.

It is also full of proteins, and Keto friendly. If you are someone who is using weight watchers this recipe should be on your menu, as it is low in carb, high in proteins, and keto-friendly.

In addition, it stores well, and leftovers can be used for days to comes. Feel free to double or triple it as well. I use ground sausage here, but you can easily make it with ground beef, pork, chicken, or turkey. Just go with what you love and have on hand.

Does an Egg Roll have an egg in it?

Unlike the name suggests, this dish does not have egg in it. The name traditionally comes from the wrapper that wraps it all up. However, there are variations to this recipe, so you can easily add an egg at the end of the cooking time. This can add extra proteins and flavor to it.
